ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP, CUZ I'M GONNA GIVE MYSELF A SCHEDULE TO STICK TO WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT!

Between one thing and another, I've been having trouble keeping a consistent update schedule for New Normal and It Doesn't Matter. Believe it or not, I keep trying to increase the post frequency for New Normal to weekly, which isn't quite working for my current workflow on the comic, and also means that It Doesn't Matter gets shafted. Soo, since I don't want to suddenly change my workflow on New Normal mid-scene (I do have an idea for how to speed things up, but it will lead to a visible lighting change), and since It Doesn't Matter is essentially a self-care project for me that I've got no intention to bench, it's past time to balance these out again. Especially since I also need to make sure to balance my time between them and commissions and rewards.

So I'm going to go back to rotating between New Normal and It Doesn't Matter by week, where this past week was a New Normal week. I'm going to continue with posting what I have for that week's New Normal page or It Doesn't Matter update on the weekend as I finish it, and then having the page or footage go live everywhere else Wednesdays. Which makes the planned update schedule for the next month as:

New Normal Page 40 - Patreon: weekend of 12/25 (woo-hoo!), Public: Wednesday, 12/30

It Doesn't Matter - Patreon: weekend of 1/2-3, Public: Wednesday, 1/6

New Normal Page 41 - Patreon: weekend of 1/9-10, Public: Wednesday, 1/13

It Doesn't Matter - Patreon: weekend of 1/16-17, Public: Wednesday, 1/20

New Normal Page 42 - Patreon: weekend of 1/23-24, Public: Wednesday, 1/27

It Doesn't Matter - Patreon: weekend of 1/30-31, Public: Wednesday, 2/3

New Normal Page 43 - Patreon: weekend of 2/6-7, Public: Wednesday, 2/10

I'm always skittish about publishing schedules--accountability is great, but only so far as it helps rather than hurts, and my anxiety and baggage tend to make releasing stuff like this a bit more fraught--I'm a bit prone to self-sabotage. But, I think I'm developing enough regulars now that I absolutely need to be transparent and make sure you guys know what to expect and when! Alternating by week has worked well in the past, and I should still be able to take time to tackle commissions and rewards!

It's kinda insane how much work I've managed to get out this year. Going by my Inkbunny pools, this year I'll have 143 pieces of art. 2019 had 38, 2018 had 29, and 2017 had 29, so that's an insane amount of growth! It's been great to be able to start having more art to share with people!
